At Flourish Speech Therapy, we offer Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) for children and adults who experience challenges with oral function, facial muscle coordination, and habits that affect breathing, speech, chewing, swallowing, or facial development. OMT targets concerns such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, low resting tongue posture, thumb sucking, and incorrect swallowing patterns. These issues can contribute to speech difficulties, orthodontic relapse, sleep-disordered breathing, and more.

Through a personalized program of gentle, evidence-based exercises, we help retrain the oral and facial muscles to support healthy breathing, clear speech, proper swallowing, and optimal oral rest posture. Therapy is adapted to each client’s age and needs, and we often work collaboratively with dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.


Feeding and Nursing Support

We provide feeding therapy for infants and children who experience challenges with bottle or breast feeding, transitioning to solids, picky eating, or oral motor skills. Support may include latch coaching, oral motor strengthening, or sensory strategies, all with a gentle, family-centered approach. Collaboration with lactation consultants and other professionals is available as needed.

We help children and adults improve the clarity of their speech by targeting specific sound errors, such as substitutions, omissions, or distortions. Therapy is tailored to the individual’s needs and uses fun, evidence-based techniques to build accurate speech production and improve overall intelligibility.

Language Delays and Disorders
We help clients develop the building blocks of language. For younger children this may include promoting attention, single word use, requesting, etc. For older kids this may include vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and storytelling. Therapy is personalized and play-based for children, while functional and goal-driven for older clients, supporting success at home, in school, and in the community.

Social Communication
This service focuses on building the social use of language—also known as pragmatic language—including conversation skills, understanding social cues, turn-taking, and flexible thinking. Support is tailored for individuals who may have autism, ADHD, or other social communication challenges.

Fluency / Stuttering
We support individuals who stutter in developing smoother, more confident speech. Therapy includes strategies for managing stuttering moments, reducing tension, and building effective communication skills. We focus on both speech fluency and emotional well-being to support real-world communication success.

At her practice, Taryn works with both children and adults, addressing a wide range of orofacial myofunctional disorders including mouth breathing, tongue ties, tongue thrust, poor oral posture, and more. She collaborates closely with medical and dental professionals to provide individualized, holistic care that empowers patients to achieve better health and function.

Whether you’re seeking support for a child struggling with sleep-disordered breathing or you’re an adult looking to improve your airway health, Taryn is dedicated to guiding you every step of the way.
